First Things First
Notas del episodio
What if the order of your giving says more about your trust than the amount? In this Timeless Truths message, Pastor Andy Wood unpacks a principle that runs from Genesis to Malachi: when I trust God with my first and my best, he blesses the rest. He clears up what the tithe is and what it isn’t. It’s not a tip, a membership fee, or a deal to get something from God. It’s the first tenth of what we receive, brought back to him as an act of worship. Cain brought an offering eventually, but Abel brought the best of his firstborn, and God looked with favor on the one who gave first in faith (Genesis 4:3–5). Pastor Andy also takes on honest objections, like what to do when the math doesn’t seem to work, and reminds us that salvation is a free gift no amount of giving can earn (Ephesians 2:8–9). What would change if you gave God your first instead of your leftovers?
